Host & Stay - Middle Farmhouse

Excellent property. Good location with plenty of room for families. Big kitchen good for mealtimes

Cooker is a nightmare to use and is dirty inside which creates a real burning smell when you can eventually get it to work.

The Farmhouse is amazing, so much room, quiet, beautifully decorated and designed. Great value for money. We will definately try to come back and stay longer.

Directions/Signage, luckily the local pub was very happy to show us where to go. Apparently it happens alot!

Nice farmhouse in a nice position. Beds comfortable.

The property was unclean in parts. In particular, the smell of dogs in the lounge made it unusable on our first night. Requested additional cleaning which took the smell away for a few hours. We had young children with us that wanted to play in the lounge area but the lack of cleanliness meant we didn’t let them. A real shame as it’s a great space with a lovely fire. This was my first booking through Host and Stay - won’t use them again due to the additional, hidden charges.

Excellent location and size, perfect for what we needed.

The decor is a tad tired and do with a referesh, also the sofas were not comfy at all. And also there was no supplies in the house, no bin liners, no washing up liquid etc, all cupboards bare. Also no pegs to hang washing out on the line. Minor details I know but would have improved our stay a tad.

Comfortable beds, spacious cottage

Very poor management indeed. Huge numbers of automated emails, out of date info on the property, very poor appliance info, rang for help but never got a call back. Previous complaints not acted on. They only want your money, not to help you.

Loved the way the house was decorated & furnished. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need , the communication from the Host & Stay team was fantastic.

Gravel paths were a little difficult for my elderly in laws but wouldn't pose a problem for most people.

we loved everything about it for our family just wished it was a longer stay

the grass was too long to play for my little girl but got cut on our last day the tv would just keep cutting off if watching it

Ocation great outside facilities limited.

Instructions and information in the house. A visitors type list of key details. Heating, cooker operation etc. One Bedroom not suitable for tall people.

The house was a great size, plenty of room. Everywhere was beautifully decorated and clean. The location was brilliant for us, a lovely friendly pub across the road that did excellent food and a little shop along the road that sold all of your essentials. It's just a short drive into Whitby along the coast road, or you have a lovely sandy beach just down the bottom of the hill where dogs can play. The beds were super comfy too!

Only small criticism was the heating didn't stay on for long, as it was very cold outside we did find we kept having to put it back on. But there is also a lovely log burner in the front room which was great.

The house was gorgeous! Decorated beautifully inside. The rooms were all of a good size. The kitchen easily sits right around the table. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Beds were very comfortable, mattress too soft for me (but that’s just a personal choice) fire in lounge when lit is a great when you have been out in the cold. Lythe itself is beautiful, the small little shop sells the best cakes. We loved it.

The only complaint we have - and it’s the smallest - only saying it so the cleaning team can rectify for the future guests…. the cooker needs cleaning out inside. Smells like something has been burnt in there and it smells the whole kitchen when it’s heating up. Tiniest issue for a beautiful house 👍😊
